Under what conditions is there a one-to-one mapping between continuous-time and discrete-time signals?
As the sampling theorem dictates that the uniform sampling frequency must be at least twice the maximum frequency present in the bandlimited signal (Nyquist rate), a question arises about the ...

DFT Signal DFT Length N , FFT
If We sample an Signal let say sine(2 * pi * f) with f=1Hz and a sampling Frequecy of Fs = 8Hz, is it right that the length of the data schoul be N = Fs/f or multiple of Fs/f like N= d*(Fs/f) with d=...

First Order Hold discrete-time approximation to first order continuous-time linear system
Consider the following first order linear system described by:
$\tau \frac{d}{dt}y(t)=-y(t) + x(t)$.
I have seen a discrete time approximation to this system using a "First Order Hold" ...

Impulse Invariant method for digital filter design
One of the known methods for discretizing analog filters is impulse response invariant. We get the impulse response in time domain, discretize it and then get the Z transform.
What I am trying to ...

Discrete-time sampling of filtered white noise
I am trying to understand how I can relate a discrete-time random process to a continuous-time random process sampled at discrete times.
Suppose I have a noise source $N_\tau(t)$ which is derived ...

Discretize process noise in Kalman filter
Reading P. Andrews et al. I see that it is very common to do the following approximation of the process noise covariance matrix:
$$Q_{k} = G_{k-1}QG_{k-1}^{T}\Delta t$$
so that the propagation ...

Proof of Forward Euler for discretizing a transfer function
In Levine book "The control handbook" it is shown that, for discretizing
a transfer function $\frac{1}{s}$ using Forward Euler i simply have to replace s
with $\frac{z-1}{T}$. How can extend the ...

Forward Euler Discretization
I don't understand why the substitution $s=\frac{z-1}{T}$ allows us to discretize a transfer function from laplace to z-transform through Forward Euler Discretization.
Can you explain to me ?

Frequency warping when integrators are replaced with backward-euler and forward-euler integration
Resonant controllers are used in the power industry. The transfer function
is
$G_{res}(s) = \frac{K_i*s}{s^2 +2*\omega_c*s+ \omega_o^2}$
The "textbook" discrete implementation is depicted in the ...

Discretizing a Controller with the Backward Difference Method
In the book "Modern Control Engineering" by Paraskevopoulos it's proved how to discretize a generic controller in the form:
$G(s)=\frac{Y(s)}{U(s)}=\frac{a}{s+a}$
where $a$ is a constant. Done this, ...

Kalman Filter: Why $ Q $ Discrete Is Defined as $\int_0^Te^{\mathbf{A}\tau} Q e^{\mathbf{A}^T \tau} d\tau$?
I would like to ask, why in the transformation to the discretization, $\mathbf{Q}$ is obtained from the expression containing the integral (image attached), what is the theory behind it?
